Compute the Sum of Squared Residuals
-In a study of feeding behavior, zoologists recorded the number of grunts of a warthog feeding by a lake in a 15 minute time period following the addition of food. The data showing the weekly number of grunts and the age of the warthog (in days) are listed below. Compute the sum of the squared residuals of the least squared line for the given data. $\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}\hline \text { Week } & \begin{array}{c}\text { Number of } \\\text { Grunts }\end{array} & \text { Age (days) } \\\hline 1 & 90 & 125 \\\hline 2 & 68 & 141 \\\hline 3 & 39 & 155 \\\hline 4 & 44 & 160 \\\hline 5 & 63 & 167 \\\hline 6 & 40 & 174 \\\hline 7 & 62 & 183 \\\hline 8 & 17 & 189 \\\hline 9 & 20 & 195 \\\hline\end{array}$
